Letter signed
Title: to M. S. Worth
General Banks informs Miss Worth of Albany, New York that "The Ladies of the North were gratefully and enthusiastically remembered by the soldiers in the Hospitals of this Department on Christmas Day ... The sweetest earthly solace that a stricken soldier can receive is to know that the women of his Country appreciate his sacrifices and are willing to give their hours of leisure and luxury to his care and comfort ...
